San Francisco – February 25, 2026 – Lucidworks, the leader in AI-powered search and product discovery, today announced the launch of the Lucidworks Solr Pro Connector, the first production-ready Solr connector built specifically for enterprise search modernization.
Enterprises running Apache Solr face a difficult challenge. Modernizing to a cloud native or AI-driven search platform often requires manual export and import processes, brittle scripts, deprecated plugins, and risky migration workflows. These approaches introduce operational downtime, increase engineering effort, and create uncertainty around production readiness. The Solr Pro Connector changes that.
Built on Lucidworks’ existing V2 architecture, Solr Pro delivers a quality-tested, production-ready integration that pulls data directly from external Apache Solr clusters and reindexes it into the Lucidworks Platform.
Lucidworks is the only vendor offering an out-of-the-box, production-ready Solr connector for enterprise search & scale. Unlike manual workflows that rely on custom scripting, Solr Pro delivers predictable, production-safe ingestion without disrupting the architecture.
“Enterprises modernizing Solr environments need more than basic connectivity. They need confidence,” said Sanjana Dodda, Product Manager at Lucidworks. ”Organizations need migration confidence backed by real engineering, not scripts and hope. Solr Pro delivers tested, reliable ingestion that works in production environments with millions of documents. By enterprise-grade readiness, we are giving engineering teams a production-ready connector they can trust.”
Solving Real-World Use Case Issues
Enterprise Solr modernization must withstand production realities such as dead replicas, autoscaling events, secured clusters, and multi-million document collections. The Solr Pro Connector was engineered to address these real-world failure modes directly, delivering enterprise-grade resilience, performance, and operational clarity that other connector implementations cannot.
By combining intelligent routing, advanced retry logic, and configuration simplification, Solr Pro significantly reduces risk while improving ingestion stability at scale.
Enterprise Enhancements Include:
- Replica-aware routing and exponential backoff retry logic to prevent failed ingestion jobs
- Cursor-based pagination and HTTP/2 pooling for high-volume indexing performance
- Progressive configuration tiers with validated smart defaults
The Solr Pro Connector is designed for data engineers responsible for ingestion pipelines and for platform and DevOps teams managing mission-critical infrastructure.
Users gain:
- Deployment confidence
- Reduced risk with automated ingestion
- Operational stability during autoscaling and infrastructure changes
- Clear quality standards backed by measurable health scores
- Enterprise scale and real-world operational stability
For organizations modernizing search and product discovery infrastructure, Solr Pro delivers what has long been missing from the market: enterprise readiness and scale reliability.
